The Wonderful World of Wheels (1966)
Ryan’s terrific dialogue starter about plastics in early scorching rods, customs and race vehicles, and that reminded me of one particular of the early pioneers of bubble best plastic domes on customs, Bill Cushenbery. His really first scratch-constructed development was the legendary ‘Silhouette’ which went on to be a multiple-show winner, a Scorching Wheel, and an AMT model kit. Invoice built it as a totally driveable, roadworthy generation, and that’s why it was highlighted in this CBS Tv set Exclusive from September of 1966 named ‘The Fantastic Globe of Wheels”, with Lloyd Bridges as your host. The whole movie is genuinely value a check out for the 60s go-karts, slot vehicles, dune buggies, clearly show cars and trucks, and extra. Lloyd drives the Silhouette through the opening sequence alongside the Pacific Coast Freeway and at times throughout the exhibit.
